In one lineEmotional trading usually means the decision is being made to relieve a feeling, not because the setup improved.
FOMO
You see price moving without you and enter late because you are afraid of missing more movement.
Revenge trading
You take another trade quickly after a loss because you want to recover the money immediately.
Overtrading
You keep taking marginal setups because being inactive feels uncomfortable.
Useful pause:If the reason for taking the trade is mainly emotional urgency, step away and reassess the plan.
Remember this
- Missing a trade is not a loss.
- A previous loss does not improve the next setup.
- More trades do not automatically create more opportunity.
